RE: Metzeler Z4?
yep, tried the z6's but for the way i ride, i found that the compound on the outside of the tyres wore too fast for my style of giving the 'cane a caning.
they did offer a little more confidence at centrestand scraping lean but i guess the difference was probably just mental as i thought the newer the technology the better then tyre. anywho, the price (for me) didn't justify buying them again so i didnt.
i get about 2thou more km's out of the z4's

Not very sure they have Avon Azaros here in Malaysia but I'll check it out. The next option is Bridgestone 020 which is also a sports tourer tyre. Made in Thailand. I am using a 190/50 in the rear.

im using a 170 conti road attack on the rear and have put a avon Viper Sport on the front(120/17) and can safely say ive never had so much grip under full power bendies,totally different bike now,so much more responsive n quick steer.
can also relax hands off at 50mph without the wobblies i had with the brdstones 020's.
this and the ceramic no fade pads has helped me surprise lots in the a n b roads.heh.

RE: Metzeler Z4?
I've got them on my '94. My back has about 8000 miles on it and it's about due for replacement. The front has 15K miles on it and it to is now due for replacement. If you're doing mostly highway miles the D220s are great. Very stable at any speed (at least 160 on the speedo), and fairly well in the corners. I'm getting the bike ready to do a track day in the near future, so I'll be wanting more agressive tires for it. I've been reading the threads here on what tires people are using before I purchase.
